Tell her no! Does she not understand "no?" My two-year old did that when we first switched her to a twin bed. We had to put baby-safe doorknob covers up to keep her in her room, and we got rid of anything that she could hurt herself with in her room- curtains, hangars, small furniture. Now it's two beds and a step stool (she's short, so she needs it to get back in bed). When we got rid of the knob covers, she tried once or twice to get out, but a stern, "no! Go back to bed!" stopped that real fast.
